Nika+Rory

Today has been beautiful, a day for sitting in parks and slowly broiling in true British fashion. I'm currently sitting in my room, looking out my window at the sun setting in a cloudless sky.
It's only fitting therefore, that I give you some tasty dramatic goth pop, none of that nostalgic lo-fi chillwave stuff, that's so passe, man.


All y'all regular readers may remember I'm a fan of Zola Jesus, and this song represents the fruits of a collaboration with one of her touring bandmates, a collaboration appropriately called Nika + Rory (appropriate cos that's their names).
Main track, I'm Not Going Anywhere, is most akin to Zola's other output, maintaining the high drama, but with added disco beats. Other songs prove a little more intriguing however, the auto-tuned vocals and massive synths of LA Suxxx, along with Do You Wanna Be, coming off like tunes worthy of the likes of Rhianna, especially the latter of these two tracks.
An intriguing prospect all round, and well worth a listen, and hopefully these early releases will blossom into a proper full length a some point.

Here's an MP3 of the track.

This is their Myspace. All their tunes are massive by the way.
